A 1940 article in which Marguerite P. Davidson describes weaving coverlet samplers, threading six overshot coverlet patterns side by side on one warp and treadling each pattern's draft in turn so the other patterns take on hybrid variations. She describes the patterns chosen from Lou Tate's Kentucky Coverlet Book, her own collected drafts, and Philadelphia Museum of Art coverlets, plus the color choices and what she learned. Three pages include photographs of the first, second and third samplers; no drafts are printed.

An article by Marguerite P. Davison on Monk's Belt and related small-pattern weaves such as Rose Path, Honeysuckle and Swedish Point with Twill. It gives the history and Scandinavian sources of the designs, the warp and yarn standards used for the sample illustrations, and an explanation of the draft notation. Handwritten drafts are labeled as plates (A, C, D+E, F, G) and drawn from Maria Collin, Hulda Peter, Johann Schleelein and Caroline Halvorsen. Photographic plates show numbered woven samples. The scan ends with a book review of Mary Phylinda Dole's autobiography and a continuation of an article on tufted weaving.

Article by Marguerite P. Davison on Philadelphia-area weaving history and six surviving manuscripts of early German-American weavers' patterns, dated from 1723 to 1844. She discusses Scandinavian and German influences on Colonial coverlet weaving and selects a few patterns, adapted for modern use, that were woven in Barley Corn (Bronson weave) and overshot. Five plates give drafts with threading, harness combinations and treadling for patterns from the Schleelein and 'Johann D--' manuscripts, with photographs of woven samples. Notes on warp and weft yarns, sett and the treadling notation are included.

An article by Marguerite P. Davison showing how varied textures can be obtained by changing the treadling of a few small four-harness threadings. Three plates of woven samples are paired with handwritten drafts for Weaver's Fancy (Forrest C. Crooks, Cliveden Bulletin No. 43), A Finnish Diamond (Anna Henriksson) and a Swiss Twill Design (Helen Seaforth Sedgmer). The brief text gives the warp and weft yarns and sett, explains how tabby use is indicated, and comments on individual treadlings, including honey-comb effects, color use and a sample resembling embroidery.
